One study on managers’ satisfaction with management tools reveals that 58% of all managers use self-directed work teams as a man

agement tool. Suppose 70 managers selected randomly in the United States are interviewed. What is the probability that fewer than 35 use self-directed work teams as a management tool?

Answer:

6.94% probability that fewer than 35 use self-directed work teams as a management tool

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to use the normal approximation to the binomial to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

E(X) = np

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that \mu = E(X), \sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}.

In this problem, we have that:

n = 70, p = 0.58

So

\mu = E(X) = np = 70*0.58 = 40.6

\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{70*0.58*0.42} = 4.13

What is the probability that fewer than 35 use self-directed work teams as a management tool?

Using continuity correction, this is P(X < 35 - 0.5) = P(X < 34.5), which is the pvalue of Z when X = 34.5. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{34.5 - 40.6}{4.13}

Z = -1.48

Z = -1.48 has a pvalue of 0.0694.

6.94% probability that fewer than 35 use self-directed work teams as a management tool

Anyone know the sensitivity analysis and duality?
kumpel [21]

Answer: Sensitivity Analysis. The notion of duality is one of the most important concepts in linear programming. Basically, associated with each linear programming problem (we may call it the primal. problem), defined by the constraint matrix A, the right-hand-side vector b, and the cost.

Pls answer this math problem
ankoles [38]

Answer:

  -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Substituting x=4 into the equation gives a 2-step linear equation in y. It is solved by isolating the variable and making its coefficient be 1.

__

<h3>use x=4</h3>

When x=4, the equation becomes ...

  -3x +9y = -57

  -3(4) +9y = -57

  -12 +9y = -57

<h3>solve 2-step equation</h3>

The <u>first step</u> is to "isolate" the variable term (9y) by adding the opposite of the constant that is on the same side of the equation. The result is that the variable term is by itself on one side of the equal sign.

  -12 +12 +9y = -57 +12 . . . . . add the opposite of -12

  9y = -45 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify

The <u>second step</u> is to make the coefficient of y be 1. We do that by multiplying by its inverse, 1/9. Equivalently, we divide by 9.

  (1/9)(9y) = (1/9)(-45) . . . . multiply by the inverse of 9

  y = -5 . . . . . . simplify

The null space for the matrix is spanned by the vector:_______
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

The null space of matrix is set of all solutions to matrix. The linearly independent vectors forms subset which are spanned and forms the null space. The null space of vector can be found by reducing its echelon. The non zero rows formed are the null spaces of matrix.
